Episode 1 • Oct 13, 2015
The China Shop
Wolfgang has just returned to Vancouver after a stint in Hong Kong, where he covertly passed along some information to one of his operatives, and learned that there may be a regime change in the Red Mountain triad. The whereabouts of the current head, General Wu, is unknown, Wolfgang believing that he has long been hiding in Vancouver. Wolfgang passes some of this information in a debrief to Al, who in turn tells Wolfgang of a new person of interest, a Mexican prosecutor who is seeking sanctuary at a local church. They do not know why he is a person of interest. They are also unaware that a young woman named Eva, who is court mandated doing community service at the church, could play an importation part of what happens in this file. Without her knowledge of the reason, Wolfgang gets Kelly to help him in this matter, she who is desperate for any research that she could add to her list of publications, which have been few and far between of late. In their discussion, Al doesn't divulge some information to Wolfgang, who Al's superiors are concerned about being too uncontrolled and unsupervised in his work. One of Wolfgang's local Romeos, Rufus, is struggling under the strain of the work. His mark, Dee, is falling in love with him and is thinking about leaving her husband Vince, who is the reason Rufus started seeing her. Wolfgang asks Rufus to see the current issue through, namely to go along in name only with a request by Dee in response to a request Vince makes to Rufus. Through all these problems, Wolfgang meets a new associate at the university, Lily Song, who may take his mind off of his covert work.

Five Spies
Getting him out of detention, Wolfgang places Tony Zhao on a short leash in trying to find out more information on the goings-on of the Red Mountain triad locally. In spending more time with Lily, Wolfgang learns more about the benefits of her becoming one of his assets, but may also discover in the process that Helen's assertion is correct in that Lily did not enter his life accidentally. Wolfgang also pressures Eva into setting up a meeting with Miguel. This places Eva in a difficult spot as she is torn between her paid duties to Wolfgang and her feelings for what is best for Miguel. Miguel learns from Ortelli the status of his sanctuary request with the church. Al learns just how important Miguel is to some in a deal offered to him. Dee has settled uncomfortably into rehab, where she tries to get a message to the outside world despite being denied telephone privileges for the first week. With Dee in rehab, Rufus is feeling the weight of the world lifted from his shoulders if only temporarily. He can now focus on the issue at hand, namely that the container at the docks with the latest shipment is being monitored by unknown sources. Wing Lei issues an ultimatum in that they get the container or else their partnership is off, against Vince's advice that they may be better off taking their losses on this shipment by just abandoning it. Rufus' involvement and his life may be threatened as Vince gets closer to finding out about his extracurricular activities with Dee.

Mandate of Heaven
Because of the attempt on his life which he believes was orchestrated by the Mexican drug cartel, Miguel is on the run with Eva, he who also believes he will not make it out of this situation in Canada alive. He is now willing to speak to Wolfgang, which Eva is able to arrange. Where to meet where they will be safe becomes an issue, especially after Wolfgang learns that Al has made a deal with Foy to trade the Gascoynes for Miguel. Through this situation, Eva's role become less important. While Miguel and Wolfgang may want to see Eva leave if only for her own safety, she may have thoughts of her own on the matter. Rufus feels more and more like he is being pushed in directions he doesn't want, and never signed up for when he agreed to work for Wolfgang. With dissent within the ranks, those rank and file want him to take out and replace Vince. And he always gets the feeling that Wing Lei has a more dangerous side he has not yet seen, that dangerous side which could mean his life. Rufus comes to conclusions about how he will handle these situations, until Wolfgang, upon being debriefed by Rufus, discovers some information which could be a game changer for what is best for Rufus and for his usefulness as a Romeo. Wolfgang and Lily's relationship is going strong on the surface, while Lily begins to delve deeper into Wolfgang's life, which is affected by a letter she receives, and Wolfgang knows that he is being "watched". And General Wu learns that he will probably be sent to a palliative care hospital in the city, the news which he sees more as an opportunity.
